Columbus seeks shops along trail route

The city of Columbus is trying to get retail shops to locate along the Warm Springs Rails-to-Trails project.

Two 400 square-foot spaces will be available on the 11-mile trail between downtown and Psalmond Road. One will be located at Manchester Expressway near Legacy Chevrolet and the other at Warm Springs Road near Hannan Magnet Academy.

The city would like the businesses to oriented around trail uses but it's not a requirement. The trail is expected to be completed this year.
